I expect the world to plan around me, not vice versa! ^

Honestly we got back from a 5 mile walk at 5:30, sat down with Open Table to pick a dinner spot and nothing was available. And I said: oh ...., it's not restaurant week, is it? It is.

I suppose we could have done Paisanos or Chinese takeout, but we felt like treating ourselves after our nice long walk! And I. Do. Not. Cook.

Yes, you would think so! But as you may have seen from my facebook rant, we managed to get into Willow tonight which I love for the black truffle flatbread they do. But they were not serving from the a la carte menu tonight, only the RW menu.

The other thing I hate is that dessert is included. So I end up piling a bunch of empty calories onto my meal.

A lot of restaurants extend RW for a week, but offer both the RW prix fixe AND the regular menu. If RW worked like that I could forgive it. But it doesn't (at least in most of the nicer places).
